The assessment also includes genetic testing to assist in medication recommendations and lab work, completed prior to starting assessment. The entire assessment is done through video and online applications.

Assessments typically begin on Mondays or Tuesdays and continue during business hours through the work week. Assessments must be planned and scheduled through admissions and the clinical social worker. Existing records should be provided in advance of arrival to prepare the team with history, goals and personalization of the assessment.
